Modelling and Mechanical Characterization of a Metamaterial Inspired by the Spinodal Decomposition

  • Barbara Mandolesi,
  • Christian Iandiorio,
  • Valerio G. Belardi and
  • Francesco Vivio

The increasing interest in metamaterials stems from the ability to expand the design space for material properties by tailoring the material architecture. Spinodal decomposition-inspired topologies are an emerging class of minimal surface-based metam...

From Spinodal Decomposition to Highly Anisotropic Mechanical Metamaterials: A Novel Design Approach

  • Barbara Mandolesi,
  • Christian Iandiorio,
  • Valerio G. Belardi and
  • Francesco Vivio

Mechanical anisotropy plays a crucial role in structural engineering. Conventional periodic lattices offer limited control over anisotropy, largely due to tessellation constraints. Spinodal metamaterials, inspired by the eponymous phase-separation pr...

7 January 2020

We present a nonlinear multigrid implementation for the two-dimensional Cahn–Hilliard (CH) equation and conduct detailed numerical tests to explore the performance of the multigrid method for the CH equation. The CH equation was originally deve...
